Conclusions
• Overall accuracy of the result cannot be lower than analytical accuracy given by CVanalytical
• From a given number of increment samples the gain in precision becomes insignificant :
=> 100 increments + CVanalytical of 20% : uncertainty at +/- 41%
=> 25 increments + CVanalytical of 20% : uncertainty at +/- 44%
=> 10 increments + CVanalytical of 20% : uncertainty at +/- 50%

Conclusions
• Total Error = Sampling Error + Analytical Error

•This model is validated by an empirical approach
(simulation of the composition of 10 000 samples using 5, 10, 15… increments)
•This model is valid for :
DON, Fumonisines, Zearalenone
Wheat and Maize
